Cancer Prevention

Many people think cancer is inevitable, but for some types of cancer, you can take steps to reduce the risk. Healthy lifestyle habits hold the key to cancer prevention. According to the American Cancer Society, up to two-thirds of all cancer cases could be prevented if people avoided tobacco and adopted other healthy lifestyle habits. These risk reduction strategies include eating healthy, exercise, avoiding tobacco, and protecting yourself from the sun. Getting regular screenings are also important as these tests can detect many cancers in the earliest stages, when they can be treated most successfully.
